Don't miss car insurance military discounts

Military discounts

Anyone who's in the armed forces -- and even college students enrolled in a commissioning program such as ROTC -- should explore car insurance military discounts. Geico gives discounts of up to 15 percent for members of the military or National Guard, for example.

USAA, a financial services provider for service members and their families, offers savings for those on active duty and says its premiums also reflect a customer's rank in the service. Plus, the company provides a 15 percent discount on the comprehensive portion of a car insurance policy if the vehicle is kept in a base garage. When active duty members are deployed away from home or have another reason not to use their vehicles, USAA gives an up to 90 percent discount in some states when those cars are kept in secure storage.
